Original post on June 3: A man was shot to death after getting into an argument with three others at a South Dallas convenience store Monday night, police said.

Bobby Ervin, 20, was at the Little World Store on the 4600 block of Malcolm X Boulevard around 10:30 p.m. when he and three other men argued, police said. The altercation continued outside and one of the three unknown men shot Ervin.

Ervin ran a short distance before he collapsed, police said. The three other men fled the scene in a silver Pontiac. Officers responded to the scene and Ervin was transported to Baylor University Medical Center. He was pronounced deceased two hours after the incident began, police said.

Homicide detectives are following up on several leads to find out who the three suspects are, police said.

Officers responded to a shopping center the 9700 block of Forest Lane shortly before midnight. Police said the boy had been hanging out with a group of other teens in the area. Witnesses said that a suspect in a car fired shots at the group and the victim, identified as Christopher Gordon, was struck in the head.

Gordon was a Berkner High School freshman football player — a wide receiver — last year, Richardson ISD spokesman Tim Clark said. Gordon was about to enter his sophomore year.

Clark said he has been in touch with Gordon’s football coach, who was in San Antonio on Tuesday. The coach told Clark that Gordon was a charismatic well-liked kid who didn’t get in trouble.

A group of teens gathered Tuesday in front of the cigar shop, about 20 yards away from where Gordon was gunned down in the parking lot. A makeshift memorial — candles, loose change, Carmex, stuffed animals, a cigarette and an apparent marijuana cigarette — was located near the pool of his blood was on the ground.

None said they knew Gordon well personally or saw the shooting happened, but said they rushed out from a nearby apartment complex Monday night to see Gordon lying on the ground, wounded.

One said Gordon was too young and hadn’t been on the street long enough to “get his hands dirty.”

Janice Minniefield, 50, who works at a store in the shopping center, said she didn’t see Gordon hanging around with the usual loiterers before.

She said she was in her apartment and dropped to the floor when she heard what she thought were about a dozen gunshots.

She said she doesn’t feel safe in the neighborhood, which is in the high-crime Forest-Audelia area, anymore.

“It’s not right,” she said. “People have to live here … All this is gang-related, and it needs to stop.”

A man who police say was attempting to rob a Pleasant Grove bar was fatally shot by an employee Monday night.

Officers responded to the 1400 block of Strickland Street when family members of Edwardo Garcia alerted police that their relative had not shown up for a family gathering, according to police documents. Family found Garcia’s body in the residence and called police.

During the investigation, police found a witness, whose name is being withheld for safety purposes, to corroborate the physical evidence at the scene. He gave the suspect’s name, Eder Morales, 22, who police say shot Garcia during a robbery.

“The witness stated that Suspect Morales confessed that he committed the murder and provided detailed information that only the murderer or witness to the murder would know,” police wrote in an arrest warrant.

Police said the witness led them to another homicide linked to Garcia’s according to witnesses and evidence. According to police reports, Morales shot a woman to death in West Dallas in early December. Morales faces two charges of capital murder.
